Tensions were running high as the closing arguments came to a close last week and court was adjourned until September 11th for the handing down of the ruling. Oscar’s aunt was clearly not in agreement with old Gerrie…

Lois Pistorius, glowered at Nel on Friday and asked in Afrikaans: “Kry jy nie skaam nie? [Aren’t you ashamed?],” Beeld reported.

According to the report it is unclear if Nel heard her because he was a distance away from her and had his back turned to her while he walked out of court.

She turned to the athlete’s psychologist next to her and repeated the question.

Beeld reported that while closing arguments were being heard, Lois, who was sitting in the front row of the public gallery, turned around to reporters sitting behind her but her husband Arnold nudged her with his elbow and she turned around.

It is not clear what Nel should possibly be ashamed of, but Lois was clearly very upset about something he said. This has been a stressful and drawn out procedure for all involved and there will no doubt be some relief when judgement is finally made.
